RE: Exceptional Weather Comes to an End

Forecast for the next few days here is no temps above mid 20's...ugh! My
kids are all sick (my son, poor little guy, is suspicious for whooping
cough! will know next week but he's being treated anyway) so at least
we'll all be indoors for the entirety of the cold snap. There go the
plans that kept me away from Perrenial Saturday with Mardi and Ceres but
again, that's parenthood. Anyway, looks like it's time to really crank
up the heat!!!!!! Stay warm, everybody!

70s!!!! It's freezing here- it didn't make it above the 60's here today
and<br>it's going to rain again tomorrow! I've got to get my new
retaining wall<br>built and soil in to plant all the irresistible finds
from the sales last<br>month. It went down to 38 last night!<br>If I

your Japanese Maple. I<br>didn't think they required that much maturity

flower, but they have spread.<br>Their little Christmas tree design is

have the<br>photos<br>> to prove the color. This year it is perfect.
